“The best part [about getting to hang out with Taylor and Justin] is being able to have people in your life that have the same mentality as you,” the 18-year-old Disney starlet told reporters at KIIS-FM’s Jingle Ball in NYC Dec. 10. “I love what I do, but I don’t really let it control my life. We like to hang out, do normal things so, it’s nice to have people who understand your schedule.”

And even though the holiday season makes her schedule even busier, Selena told HollywoodLife.com she still takes time to make the perfect gift for her special someone. “I am the worst gift giver,” she admitted, adding, “I give thoughtful things, like I’ll make something like a picture frame. Maybe a watch.”

We love seeing a starlet who stays so down-to-earth! Sign us up to be her friend too!
